The News Everyone Has Been Waiting For...PS4 Unveiled... Well Sort of


Submitted by tbag; April 18, 2012


Everyone knows about the rumored PS4 specs at this point but what would it look like and how do you think it would run?

Well some of the OPM-UK thought they would try to find out. they went ahead and combined the list of rumored components and built the beast to see if it realy stands up to be a potential next gen system.

 

They pitted there FrankinStation 4 against a PS3 and an Intel i7 2700K to see exactly how it measured up in comparison.  The results are sad I have to say. Both the PS3 and the Intel clocked in at 30fps while the Orbis pretender only came in at 21fps with minor graphics improvements.

On the upside we can still remember that the parts list for the PS4 is still under a rumor status until Sony tells us what the real deal will have under its hood.  But even if its all true simply jamming a bunch of parts together and trying to test a PS4s capability is unreliable at best. When you develop a home console you know exactly what the hardware can do and you can get every last drop out of it and program for it based on what the max performance is of the machine. So just sit tight and we'll see what other news comes out about the future of the PlayStation name.

the components used in game consoles are hardware revisions usually only given to the console manufacturer. The chipsets processor and graphics will me modified versions of anything you can get on a PC & like the article says they specifically are all tuned together to squeeeze every last drop of power.

in a PC world a motherboard and chipset have to speak with 10 or 20 different types of processors , all motherboards have to be made to support all graphics cards a person could potentially buy and speak with diffrent companies RAM and so on and so forth. 

with a Console they dont have to be that way cause they control all the hardware in a system and specifically tune all the hardware together.

 

simply put this test will not reflect the true speed of a console with off the shelf pc compents.

measuring the ps3 to a home made pc is like

measuring a 5 year old f1 ferrari to a home made tractor.

You also have to renember that the PS4 will be fully optimised to use that hardware, aswell as having modifacations to the hardware itself. These tests wont even be close to what the PS4 will actually give us.
